The original church was completed in 1157AD and since then it has seen regular alteration and extension. Thanks to the efforts of a small group of volunteers from the congregation and beyond, the church is open for visitors every day from around 9.00 am to 5.00 pm. The tower houses a clock installed in 1904 to replace the one that had existed since at least 1686, and is renowned for keeping excellent time. There is a full peal of six bells which date from between 1677 and 1873 http://www.achurchnearyou.com/bourton-on-the-hill-st-lawrence/ Church Website: http://bourtonparishchurch.co.uk/
